Please guide me /help me

Sirs, About two months back I had opened an IRCTC account and was using the same. Almost ten days ago while I tried to open the account, I forgot the password. So I tried to reset the password and in the process IRCTC sent me OTPs for 2/3 times, but I didnot get the same. Incidentally, that very morning I received a message from my service provider, Reliance stating “Internal server error”. May be due to this I didnot get the OTPs and couldnot finish the task. Now, if I try to use my user ID, I am told invalid user. So, I wanted to open a new account. I filled up the registration form properly and when I submitted, there were no responses. I did it for several times. Please help me open a new IRCTC Account.

I am new to IRCTC registration & had mentioned all asked details in the form but password i entered not accepting. Added Letters Numerical digits also.. after all these not accepting my password.. plz help..please soon

Your citizen is not much educated as you expecting. Why not it be simple, what is the use of sign up & login. creating lots of problem. why not be like online Air-ticketing, no need of sign-up&login. think for the simple and easy short so that every beneficiaries can do it within a second.

But can you answer few of the questions? if you do not have any account in IRCTC.

1. If you wanna track your old booked ticket history then how you will check? 2. If you lost your e-ticket then how will you send another SMS by your self in your mobile? 3. If you wanna cancel your ticket then will you do it? if you do not have an account.

There are many questions to be asked. But for now can you answer those? Any web application which do some transaction must have Sign Up activity to track the user activities and their records.

why this lengthy filling of forms is just confusion to the customers nothing more than that. Myself is one example, I am trying since long back years ago still I couldn’t struck at certain point. This time after filling form, no message and OTP received. instead long, why it is not possible to shorten and easy. its nothing but bull sheet. Railway bull sheet

I am new to IRCTC registration & had mentioned all asked details in the form but password i entered not accepting. Added Letters Numerical digits also.. after all these not accepting my password.. plz help..

Need to remove the previously registered account information I have created an account long before. Now I have forgotten the old account. I have created a new account. While creating I faced many difficulties such as

1. I was unable to give the same mail address as mentioned in the previous account which I have forgotten.

2. The mobile number. When I registered the new account with the same mobile number, it was said that “The mobile number is already in use of other account”.

Please try to remove my previous account information so I can use the current account in ease. My mail-id is riddhi_jn89@yahoo.com (personal, not registered with IRCTC) so I could send the required details in order to remove the previous account details.

Hello Riddhi, As data can not be deleted once saved. Its a government project so nobody has privilege to delete anything from data base. You will have to use another email id and mobile number to create new account.

BTW if you know your username then please do share here i’ll reset password on behalf of you.

OTP on mail not received… When I received the session got expired. The site is stupid. People turn anti-Government because of such lazy people making no effort to make a website of such big organization. Sirf naam ke liye online kiya hai. Kaam to hota hi nahi.

Hey Abhishek, I understand the problem you are facing. Railway has changed the entire website design only for booking the ticket but IRCTC Registration is still using Old design that’s why people face problems and Error such as OTP not received, Confirmation email not received.

Yes Hikmat its correct. There is a problem in IRCTC registration. We have two solution for this: 1st – Either call to IRCTC customer care and get it resolved. Or 2nd – Create new User ID with new email id which is not registered.

I have been trying to update my profile with new address and mobile number without success. In spite of feeding the changes to be registered, the old information is still retained. In fact, if I book the ticket without changing the mobile number, by default the text message is sent to the old number. I have tried updating my profile umpteen times now without any success, as the new data is not getting registered. Please suggest a solution

i had created an account but later i got message that the email ID already exists ,I have to update my email ID .Pls guide me how to update my Email ID in my profile as now it states that mob user already registered. Pls guide me

Hello Shruti, Login into http://www.irctc.co.in and click ‘My Profile–>Update Profile‘ link. System will ask to enter password once again, please enter your password. Now you can see your existing details with your current email id. Change it and Update the form once again. You are done!

Whenever you fill the form and clicks on Submit button then some times it says “Few mandatory fields are not filled at all” at this time userid gets registered in IRCTC portal and when you fill all the required fields and submits the form again then you get th error “User id already registered”
